Last update: 3 hours ago

STEM push: UNESCO’s new STEM institute is ramping up inclusive, hands-on science and tech education—aiming to build teacher skills, better curricula, and lifelong learning to tackle climate, health, energy, food, and digital change. Health closer to home: In Fiji, open-heart surgeries are expanding locally after long delays and overseas fundraising—easing pressure on Pacific families who previously had to travel for specialist care. Pacific geopolitics: The Pacific Islands Forum heads to Palau in late August, with leaders weighing how Cold War-style rivalries and China–US competition could shape regional priorities. Drug crackdown: Australian Federal Police report 17 tonnes of illicit drugs seized in the Pacific since January—more than triple last year—highlighting a fast-rising threat to Pacific health and families. Samoa health workforce: Samoa and New Zealand have launched the first Long-Term Placements Programme, sending NZ health professionals to Samoa and bringing Samoan nurses to NZ for reciprocal training. Climate and classrooms: A new Samoa study will track how heat and humidity affect children’s learning and wellbeing at five schools.
